and, most importantly, we raised lots of money for the Croydon Refugee Centre
On Saturday 18 December St Mildred’s held a Community Nativity – with Donkey rides, Santa and a service in Church with real donkeys, a real baby (who behaved impeccably) and music provided by the Emerald Choir and the Rock project.
We also raised £700 for the Croydon Refugee Centre. As you will see from the pictures a great time was had by all!
